A full-bodied, decadently smooth coffee beer in collaboration with local roaster Darkwoods.
7 different malts combine with 3 different coffees added at 2 different points during the brew to create a sweet toffee, rich fruit and chocolate depth, accented with notes of vanilla, and hazelnut.
Brewed with coffee, cocoa nibs and vanilla, this beer is designed with texture, aroma and deliciousness in mind. Brewed to celebrate locality and a shared philosophy in creative quality.

Optisch schonmal große Klasse, stabiler, leicht bräunlicher Schaum. In der Nase deutlich Kaffee, Mokka. Im Trunk ebenso deutlich, herrlich cremig, leicht schokoladig, süß in der Mitte, leicht röstig. Nach dem Essen der perfekte Espresso-Ersatz.

12/8/18: Yup, just what I expected. Semi-sweet, plenty of coffee, some vanilla. Good creamy mouthfeel, roasty bitterness, fairly carbonated (tad too much for my taste), bit of chocolate. Very nice.
11/11/19: Very smooth, soft, lots of coffee and a bit of vanilla. Nicely roasted gives some good bitterness, but there is sweetness from the malts as well, dark chocolate to combine with the coffee. Easy drinking, flavourful and decent body.
